题目：Batch Process Automation & Plastics Processing Intelligent Plant Big Data  Research Platform

Abstract:
This talk consists two parts. The first of the presentation focuses onourprogresses oftheacademic researchesof batch process automationin term of modeling, control, monitoring and quality optimization. The 2ndpart of the talk extends the academic work of the 1stpart tothe application to polymer processing plant. A proposal ismadefor polymer processing smart manufacturingplant. The scale and multi-disciplinary natures of this type of works call for a collaborative platform for joint research and developmenton big manufacturing datato realize the smartplant.
